Is there anything more attractive than a masculine, built chest? For many women, a man’s muscular pecs are the one thing that makes them weak in the knees. A well-built chest, symmetrical and strong, is the kind of thing that makes a man feel like a man. It looks great, shows your strength, and also helps your clothes fit a little bit better.

For most men, they’re attainable through regular diet and exercise. Even just being naturally born with stronger pectoral muscles can help you get the kind of torso that most people adore seeing. It should be easy, but, what happens if you don’t really have the muscles necessary to actually get a sexy chest?

Or, what if you didn’t have any pectoral muscles at all?

And, what if you only have pecs on one side of your body?

Poland Syndrome: The Men Without Chests

If you have Poland Syndrome, you already know the answer to this. Poland Syndrome is a congenital disorder that is characterized by being born with a lack of pectoral muscles on one side your body. This gives your chest a very uneven, underdeveloped appearance. At times, it can even cause you to be born without a nipple!

It doesn’t take too much to see why most men who have Poland Syndrome are extremely sensitive about their bodies. Poland Syndrome is a condition that you’re born with—and one can only imagine the kind of humiliation that sufferers felt growing up with this condition.

How Does Poland Syndrome Affect You?

Poland Syndrome is not actually physically painful or dangerous, but it wreaks emotional havoc. As years pass, most men with Poland Syndrome find themselves struggling with their body image. In many cases, the body image issues they feel may begin to interfere with their daily lives.

They may have a hard time dating due to the self-esteem hits they take from having potential partners get turned off after seeing the chests. They may worry about taking off their shirt in public. Depending on how extreme the issue is, they may even struggle with getting clothing that fits them.

Do you have Poland Syndrome? If so, you may be happy to know that it can be treated—and that you, too, can have a symmetrical chest. Dr. Steinbrech currently is one of the only male plastic surgeons in the New York City area to offer solutions to men who have Poland Syndrome.

How Is Poland Syndrome Treated?

The most common way to treat Poland Syndrome is through fat injections or fat transfers. Dr. Steinbrech can help give your chest an even appearance by offering fat injections into key points of your chest. Though these injections cannot be built into muscle, what they can do is offer patients a way to get the aesthetic balance you want to have.

That being said, there are other methods that can be used to treat Poland Syndrome, depending on how advanced the syndrome is. These can include muscle grafting, nipple addition, as well as specialized implants.

What Should I Expect From Poland Syndrome Treatment?

Before any treatment can start, Dr. Steinbrech will need to consult with you about your Poland Syndrome and evaluate your chest. During your consultation, you will learn about the treatment that is best for you, the procedure behind it, and also have any questions you have answered.

In most cases, Dr. Steinbrech performs Poland Syndrome using fat transfers. With a fat transfer, you will choose a place to get rid of fat. The fat will be taken out of your body from a location that you and Dr. Steinbrech will choose during your consultation.

To start your fat transfer, the doctor makes a small incision in your donor area and inserts a tube called a cannula under your skin. The cannula will break up fat and suction it out. Once the fat’s out of your donor area, it’s prepared for re-introduction in your chest.

Another couple of incisions are made around your chest. From there, the fat will be transferred into your body. More fat will be used than what you may expect. This is normal, since some of the fat will be reabsorbed into your body once you are recovered.

The typical fat transfer procedure will be done under local anesthesia and takes a total of an hour. Recovery can vary, but is typically assisted with compression garments, pain medication, and bandages.

Dr. Steinbrech will instruct you on your unique recovery process prior to the procedure, and will be there every step of the way. Most people will fully recover within a month, but can start exercising in as little as two weeks’ time.

After a week to two weeks of rest and very light activity, you will get a followup checkup with Dr. Steinbrech. This is done to ensure that no complications have arisen.

Who Should Seek Out Poland Syndrome Treatment?

Dr. Steinbrech’s New York City office has seen quite a few men who wanted to erase Poland Syndrome from their lives. Though every Poland Syndrome sufferer may want this procedure, it’s not for everyone. The ideal male candidate for Poland Syndrome has the following traits:

He was born with Poland Syndrome.
He is in reasonably good health.
His weight is healthy, and also stable.
He doesn’t have extreme expectations when it comes to plastic surgery.

Does this sound like you? If so, you are probably a candidate for Poland Syndrome correction.

Got More Questions?

If you were born with Poland Syndrome, you don’t have to live your life feeling ashamed of your body. You can take control of your life and your looks—and you can do it all by choosing to get treatment. At the offices of Dr. Steinbrech, we can give you a way to get the body you always wanted and dreamed of.

Whether you simply have questions about the procedure you would need, or if you are ready to make your first step on a journey towards a symmetrical chest, we are here for you.

New York City is one of the largest cities in the world, and it also happens to be one of the most competitive places in existence. To be a man in the Big Apple means to be able to compete in every single aspect of life, including your overall appearance. Simply put, being sloppy or even unattractive in this city can spell career and dating trouble if you’re a guy.

To get the very best treatment and opportunities, you have to look like a male model. Dr. Steinbrech makes it possible to do so through his new, incredibly popular Male Model Makeover procedure.

What Is The Male Model Makeover?

Dr. Steinbrech invented the Male Model Makeover as a quick and easy way to contour and chisel a man’s face. Using non-invasive facial fillers, Dr. Steinbrech adds volume in key points that add masculinity and help downplay facial flaws. The entire procedure is almost immediately visible, requires no downtime, and also takes a total of 10 minutes. The fillers last a total of 18 months, sometimes more.

Why Get A Male Model Makeover?

The Male Model Makeover is a procedure that’s affordable, quick, and as safe as possible. It gives men a masculine face, adds proportionality, and also helps men get the youthful appearance people love to see. If you have a weak jawline or have had issues with the shape of your face, this is a good procedure to consider.

Are You A Candidate?

Though many men in the tri-state area have wanted to get a Male Model Makeover, not all men are candidates. The ideal candidate will be a man who wants to have a more chiseled face:

• Is in reasonably good health
• Still retains elasticity in his skin

To get the scoop on your candidacy, you will need to have a consultation with a plastic surgeon. You can book your consult by calling Dr. Steinbrech’s New York City office at(646) 480-7750 or booking an appointment online.

In China, Korea, and India, a strange thing is starting to happen. It’s something that has never been witnessed in human history before. For the first time in history, men outnumber women in some of the most populous countries in Asia. It’s not a slight difference, either. The difference is most noticeable in countries where family planning policies and social expectations often would have parents able to raise only one child—most often a male to carry on the family name. Due to the heavy preference families had for men over women, there are now a total of over 70 million more men than there are women. The Struggles of Men in a Male WorldIf you were to listen to some of the rants men have about ladies, you’d never guess that an overabundance of men would be an issue. However, demographers are starting to panic because of the widespread changes and impacts of having such a dire lack of women. Men are now facing unprecedented competition for dates, white collar jobs, and even entertainment-based jobs. With the higher competition for jobs and potential spouses, men are also starting to get judged on elements that they never used to be critiqued on. Things such as looks and fashion sense, for example, are becoming increasingly important for men in both the dating world and work world. Women are more interested in finding a sexually attractive mate than ever before—and men who want to court women often will have to do something to set themselves apart from the rest of the singletons out there. How Bad Can Rejection Be?

The consequences of not being able to compete in the new world can be pretty dire. In many cases, men who are unable to find a spouse are seen as less masculine, or worse, defective. Many older parents are now stuck housing single men who can’t get a spouse or a job. In many cases, parents who were once thrilled to have sons are now beginning to regret it. Some are even beginning to panic, or encourage their sons to marry younger than ever before. In China, it’s even become customary for men to start building houses in a last-ditch attempt to get a wife. Sadly, it’s not always successful…but something else has been. Plastic Surgery? For Men?!Only 20 years ago, you never would have heard of men who would be interested in plastic surgery. However, times have definitely changed. As women have become increasingly focused on sexual attraction, men throughout the world have started to pay more attention to their looks before. In China, Japan, and Korea, the male plastic surgery market is absolutely booming. Men who have undergone surgery in these countries definitely don’t regret it, either. In many cases, one small nip and tuck was all they needed to find love—or even a better job. The trend has also begun to spread to the United States as well. Dr. Steinbrech, one of the top male plastic surgeons in New York City, recently had to expand his business into multiple branches due to the uptick in demand. The statistics alone show that the demand is skyrocketing, with dermal fillers, face lifts, and liposuction being some of the most commonly requested procedures. Though men don’t outnumber women in the United States, Dr. Steinbrech and other male plastic surgeons have noticed that the rationale behind going under the knife remains the same. Many, if not most, male plastic surgery clients in the States choose to undergo cosmetic procedures to compete in the world of Tinder, or to look more respectable in their careers. Not As Crazy As You ThinkIt may seem insane for a regular man to go to such lengths, but if you think about it, the new uptick in plastic surgery makes a lot of sense. Today’s world is one where competition has never been higher—and that holds true for all things. Men really do have to struggle to find love, a great career, and have status. Our society is one where people will focus on your first impression. This means that, for both men and women, looks matter more than ever before. The guys who choose to undergo plastic surgery are not being vain or foolish; they are adapting to a hyper competitive world by investing in the best asset they have—themselves. Dr. Steinbrech launched his Male Plastic Surgery New York website in 2012 as demand sky rocketed due to pent up demand. He later expanded with a Male Aesthetic Website for his Beverly Hills office and is now bi-coastal servicing the needs for men on both coasts. As much as 40% of Dr. Steinbrech’s patients are from overseas (many of which who fly in from Asia). Hence, the demand for Male Plastic Surgery is worldwide and showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Excess skin can happen to anyone, for a variety of reasons. Some people end up having loose, baggy skin because they lost a huge amount of weight. Others get it due to illness. Even more get it as they age, since it’s a natural side-effect of the aging process.

This would be fine, except for the fact that excess skin makes a person look older, can make finding clothes that fit a challenge, and also just doesn’t bode well for a man’s confidence. Dr. Steinbrech’s office has been able to help hundreds of men get rid of the excess skin they have, regardless of why they have it.

Why Get Rid Of Excess Skin?

Excess skin might not pose a health problem per se, but it absolutely can do damage to a man’s confidence. Every man out there wants a taut body that looks youthful, dignified, and masculine. When you have excess skin, that appearance is difficult, if not impossible, to attain.

It’s obvious that excessive skin can cause you to lack confidence and harm your chances in the dating world. But, that’s not all it can do. In more extreme cases, having too much skin can make it difficult to find clothing as well. Excess skin removal surgery can fix those problems permanently.

Excess Skin Removal Surgery For Men

As far as plastic surgery goes, this is a very straightforward procedure in terms of both technique and recovery. Skin removal surgery can be done on almost any part of a man’s body, and is often combined with other procedures.

Excess skin removal surgery is typically done under general anesthesia, but in certain cases, can also be done under local anesthesia. In this procedure, Dr. Steinbrech will cut away excess skin, tighten skin that remains, and close incisions using techniques that hide scarring.

If done alone, recovery times tend to be minimal. Most men will have swelling, bruising, and mild pain. Some may also have to wear compression garments to facilitate healing, but even so, a typical man will be able to return to work within one to two weeks of surgery.

Are You A Candidate For Skin Removal Surgery?

If you are a man who’s considering skin removal surgery, Dr. Steinbrech might be able to help you. To get the most out of your plastic surgery experience, you should try to be as close to an ideal candidate as possible. This means that you should:

Be in overall good health and a nonsmoker.

Be able to follow Dr. Steinbrech’s instructions.

Have excess skin that you want to have removed.

Have an overall stabilized weight.

Have realistic expectations for plastic surgery.

Whether it happens due to aging or due to rapid weight loss, most men will eventually have loose skin in at least one part of their body. While loose skin does not pose a health risk, it absolutely does look unsightly and contributes to faster aging.

It used to be that having loose skin was a fact of life, but this is no longer the case. Thanks to plastic surgery, it’s possible to keep a taut, youthful, and more visually appealing physique thanks to loose skin surgery.

What Is Loose Skin Surgery?

Loose skin surgery, also known as excess skin removal, is a form of plastic surgery that gets rid of loose skin and tightens the underlying muscle. Depending on where it’s performed, it can be part of a facelift, a neck lift, or a body lift—or it could be done on its own.

The purpose of loose skin surgery is to allow the patient to remove unsightly excess skin, get an overall more youthful appearance, and also smooth out sagging that is caused by weight loss and aging. Dr. Steinbrech specializes in loose skin surgery and has been offering it in the New York City area for years.

What Should I Expect With Loose Skin Surgery?

This kind of surgery is fairly straightforward and involves your surgeon cutting away excess skin, tightening remaining skin, and then offering aftercare. Most people who have loose skin surgery have relatively quick recovery periods with mild bruising and swelling as side effects.

In terms of effects, you should expect a fairly striking difference. People who undergo loose skin surgery often see a drastic difference in their appearance, confidence, as well as their ability to find clothes that fit. Make no mistake about it; it’s a life-changing surgery with incredibly high satisfaction rates.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Loose Skin Surgery?

New York City is filled to the brim with men who could seriously benefit from having loose skin surgery, but not all of them are good candidates. Each candidate is selected by Dr. Steinbrech during a consultation. You might be an ideal candidate for loose skin surgery if…

You are in overall good health, work to keep yourself healthy and don’t smoke.

You have realistic expectations from plastic surgery.

You have excess skin and want to get it removed.

Your weight is relatively stable, and you’re not overweight.

Whether we like it or not, our bodies will begin to sag as we grow older. If we’ve lost excessive amounts of weight, it’s also very possible that skin will remain looser than before. Among men, this often comes in the form of a “beer gut” or a small pouch of fat that just won’t go away regardless of what you do at the gym.

Among other men, though, that extra “junk” tends to be centered around the lower abdomen and buttocks. For men who want to have a flat stomach and proportional lower body, Dr. Steinbrech’s lower body lift is an excellent option.

What Is A Lower Male Body Lift?

A lower male body lift is a specialized procedure that removes excess skin, smoothes out folds in the body, and uses liposuction to contour portions of a man’s lower body. This is used to help slenderize a man’s hips, thighs, and buttocks—giving him a more proportional and contoured appearance.

Lower male body lifts are typically done using liposuction and skin removal techniques. This gives a very drastic change in appearance that remains permanent as long as your weight remains stable. They are very involved procedures that often require extra downtime. (Dr. Steinbrech will explain more as you have your consultation.)

Why Get A Lower Male Body Lift?

A lower male body lift offers a slew of excellent benefits. These include being able to find clothes that fit, having better body confidence, and also looking more attractive to potential dates.

Who Is A Good Candidate For A Lower Male Body Lift?

New York City men who have undergone weight loss or find themselves with a disproportionate body might want to look into a lower male body lift. However, not all men are good candidates for this procedure.

You would be an ideal candidate if:

You are in generally good health and are a non-smoker.

Your weight is stable.

You have excess skin, fat, or an otherwise disproportionate lower body area and want to get it fixed.

You have reasonable expectations as far as results go.

You have adequate time for a long recovery period and are willing to follow Dr. Steinbrech’s instructions.

To find out whether you are a good match, you may schedule a consultation with Dr. Steinbrech at his Male Plastic Surgery office in NYC.

Gastric bypass surgery is growing in popularity and has become a life-saver for millions of people suffering from excess weight. Having gastric bypass surgery is a life-changing event that allows people to lose massive amounts of weight and take their lives back. However, it always has an unintended side effect: excess skin.

As excellent as gastric bypass is, there is only so much it can do. It does wonders for weight loss, can help curb issues with diabetes, and also makes it easier for patient to regain mobility. However, it cannot get rid of the excess skin that’s left behind after major weight loss.

That’s exactly why Dr. Steinbrech’s office offers after-gastric bypass plastic surgery for men in the New York City area.

Why After-Gastric Bypass Plastic Surgery?

Though gastric bypass surgery offers a lot of benefits when it comes to the confidence one gets from weight loss, it’s important to realize that weight loss is only half the battle. Many men who have lost significant amounts of weight still feel self-conscious because rapid weight loss causes excess skin. It’s not uncommon to hear a man who has lost a large amount of weight refuse to take off his shirt or wear shorts because of the excess skin they have.

Another thing people might not realize is that you might not be able to lose weight uniformly. This can cause a disproportional body in some men who have undergone gastric bypass.

Dr. Steinbrech offers surgery that removes extra skin and fat, and gives men the bodies they want to have. If you have been feeling insecure or self-conscious after seeing the effects of weight loss, he can help you.

What Will After-Gastric Bypass Plastic Surgery Involve?

Dr. Steinbrech takes every patient’s case on an individual basis. Most patients who choose to get this service will undergo general anesthesia. While under anesthetic, Dr. Steinbrech will remove excess skin, using small incisions that are kept as hidden as possible. Patients who need liposuction to remove excess fat will also have it performed in the same sitting.

Most patients will be expected to have at least a three to five days of downtime, with most men returning to work within a week. However, it’s important to talk to Dr. Steinbrech to find out your individual procedure to get a better idea of what to expect.

Who Is A Good Candidate For After-Gastric Bypass Plastic Surgery?

Due to the medical nature of gastric bypass surgery, each candidate will need to undergo a checkup to ensure that they are capable of getting plastic surgery. The ideal candidate for this specific form of plastic surgery is a man who:

Is in overall good health

Successfully underwent gastric bypass surgery

Has their weight stabilized

Has excess skin that they want to get rid of

Additionally, it’s also important to remember that patients should have reasonable expectations when they choose to undergo plastic surgery.

Boobs. They used to be a simple thing — something I have, something all other females have, something I never paid that much attention to, until shows like E!’s “Botched” came out.

If you’ve never watched the show, consider yourself lucky, because once you see some of the stuff on there, it can never be unseen — and I mean ever. While I’ve heard plenty of horror stories about plastic surgeries gone wrong, I never knew how real the problem was, until I saw it with my own eyes on the big screen.

Still, even though these botched boob jobs are without-a-doubt downright alarming to look at, I have to admit — I can’t get enough of ’em. For me, “Botched” is like that horror movie you love to hate; you know that it’s going to give you nightmares, but still, you just can’t look away. Even worse, now, I find myself looking everywhere I go.

You think I’m joking? While some may enjoy birdwatching, boob-watching is more the name of my game these days. And, this summer especially, I’ve been taking it much more seriously than I’d like to admit. Let’s just say that my beach days are no longer filled with simply taking a swim, but more along the lines of staring at all of the tata’s around me. Yes, I know how creepy this sounds.

The thing is, these popular shows like “Botched” and all of the celebrity plastic surgery makeovers that have been busting in the headlines have officially consumed my head; and now more than ever, I’m noticing what’s real, what’s fake, and what’s been completely butchered.

And let me tell ya, bad boob jobs are all around us, and I’ve been catching glimpses of them left and right… and as you can probably guess, it isn’t pretty.

Still, my issue isn’t with plastic surgery. If getting a little work done will give you that extra boost of confidence, by all means — go for it. The thing is, people really need to think twice about who it is they’re going to.

Going under the knife is a big deal, and if you don’t go about it the right way, it can be an even bigger mistake. Choosing a doctor that’s right for you is a huge decision that shouldn’t be rushed. Remember: good things come to those who wait, and even better things come to those who do their research.
